  • 1 17A Stealth Fighter Organizations
    HISTORY AND LINEAGE OF THE F- 1 17A STEALTH FIGHTER ORGANIZATIONS DECEMBER 1991 SPECIAL STUDY HO-91-2 OFFICE OF HIST RY HEADQUARTERS, 37TH FPGHTER WING TWELFTH AIR FORCE TACTICAL AIR COMMAND INTRODUCTION In 1978, the Air Force awarded a full-scale development contract for the F-117A Stealth Fighter to Lockheed Corporation's Advanced Development Projects (the famous Skunk Works). Thirty- one months later, on 18 June 1981, the F-117A made its first flight. Meanwhile, the Tactical Air Command (TAC) decided to set up a group-level organization to guide the F-117A to an initial operating capability. That organization became the 4450th Tactical Group (TG), which officially activated on 15 October 1979 at Nellis AFB, Nevada. The 4450 TG began flying operations in 1981 from the Tonopah Test Range Airfield, located approximately 130 miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. Lockheed test pilots put the Stealth Fighter through its early paces. The 4450 TG also operated the A-7D as a surrogate trainer for the F-l17A, and these operations continued until 15 October 1982 under the guise of an avionics test mis- sion. October 15th is important to the program because on that date Maj Alton C. Whitley, Jr. became the first 4450 TG pilot to fly the F-117A. The 4450 TG then achieved an initial operating capability with the F-117A in October 1983. The 4450 TG's mission continued to evolve under a cloak of secrecy--all Tonopah training flights conducted at night under the cover of darkness--until late 1988. On 10 November 1988, the Air Force brought the F-117A from behind a "black veil" by publicly acknowledging its existence.

Transcript: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder). Military Papers: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder). Abstract: Donne “D.C.” Harned, a Madison, Wisconsin native, discusses his service as a fighter pilot in the Air Force during the Korean War. Harned speaks of enlisting in the Aviation Cadet Program in 1948 and being in a class that could choose between the old “pinks and greens” Army Air Force uniform and the new Air Force blue uniform. He talks about advanced pilot training at Las Vegas Air Force Base (later renamed Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada) in F-51Ds, assignment to the 31 st Fighter Group at Turner Air Force Base (Georgia), and aerial gunnery practice in F-84Es. He tells of a friend who was towing the gunnery target getting hit and making an emergency landing. Harned mentions enjoying Naval Close Air Support School (Virginia). In 1950, the Air Force called for volunteer F-51 pilots to go to Korea and Harned volunteered. He describes riding over on the USS Boxer and comments on the Navy’s emphasis on timeliness. Assigned to the 40th Fighter Squadron, part of the 35th Fighter Interceptor Group, he discusses how near the North Korean People’s Army was to the air field at Pohang (South Korea) and the Air Force’s eventual evacuation to Tsuiki (Japan).
